Delivery will be on Monday, December 23rd!
From all of us at Daybreak Growers Alliance to all of our members, we wish you and your family a happy and safe holiday season.
This weeks shares are filled with a great assortment of winter hardy greens and sweet roots. We are super excited to have Frost Sweetened Collards in this weeks shares from Dickey Hill Farm. This deep winter treat is something you don't want to miss out on. Due to the holiday schedule we have a few other items we are short on so you might find that we subbed in a bunch of Collard greens for other items in your share. Being able to customize your shares is a great feature of Harvie but sometimes we need to make adjustments based on availability, but we ensure you get the full value of your shares in each box.

Update from Bahner Farm
It's winter on the farm! For us at Bahner Farm, that means lots of greens. Although we still have lots of carrots, beets, cabbage and more in the cooler, we focus on greens production in the winter. For now we still have lots of fresh baby greens coming out of our unheated high tunnels. Hard as it may be to believe, many of our hardiest varieties will continue to grow through these frigid short winter days with a little care. Our biggest tunnels do best, since they warm up the most and have more thermal mass to hold some heat through the night. In addition, we cover our greens daily with two layers of winter-grade row cover. We spend about 40 minutes to an hour each day just covering and uncovering to help them get light during the daylight hours and remove dampness from the leaves. At some point, even these efforts won't be enough and there will be a gap in production while we wait for daylight to increase and starting the growing process again. In the meantime, we'll have lots of microgreens and peashoots to bring you the taste of spring, all winter long. Enjoy!
